It is always a pleasure to hear someone talk about a pop culture niche they are passionate about regardless of what it is... It always becomes endearingly entralling even if it isn't necessarily a shared interest!
Unfortunately, you have to otherwise all the white knights ride in and proclaim their superior intellect and fantastical authority against all the pettiest injustices such as this.
I remember first seeing Gannon on an early episode of Barshens and thinking "He's a bolshy little bugger, what a knob-end" (or something very similar) but over the years since then I've grown to thinking he's the funniest and loveliest and cuddliest man on RUclips.
Tell ya what, boys, nearly an hour of Paul and Stuart, and I enjoy it more than most hour long tv shows. Tall are endlessly entertaining to me. Your quirks and interests fascinate me.
Alright Stewart, that little action figure size proton pack needs to go on one of your many action figures from your collection. Which one is the funniest though? Knock off He-Man? Those weird Poundland pirate figures? Aunt May? I know you got something for us.
"Agry Little Spad" is, I think, because of the difference in sounds in English and Japanese. The katakana of the name, romanised, says "agurii ritoru supaddo", which is the best approximation of Ugly Little Spud possible with the sounds used in the Japanese language. It makes sense when spoken, but I'm guessing whoever wrote the English in the magazine wasn't entirely sure on how those words would be written, and anglicised it literally!
I saw the title & I was like "I either hope Gannon is in this cuz I like watching him geek out or I hope he's not in it because I know he would be exasperated and mad cuz I like seeing him suffer."
@@protheu5 He's a friend of Stuart, he was in Barshens (the first version) and co-stars a podcast with Eli (another guy from Barshens) He's a huge Ghostbusters fan
I was at the screening of cleaning up the town and I too got an Ecto badge, I also like the Filmation logo. I collected the comics and yes that is how Egon hair went blonde, lol. Fantastic show Paul I love your enthusiasm and energy you have when talking about a subject that’s dear to my heart also. PS. Thank you Stuart for letting him waffle.
I've seen this a couple of times and I've always missed the joy in Mr. Gannon's hand when he says "I get to do the thing with the hand that you do". Even Paul fanboys at the concept of being Ashens for a moment
I really enjoyed looking at your friend's collection of Ghostbusters memorabilia. I know it's a bit late to say now, but I'm glad he shared it with us and would like to thank him for doing so. Also I love those Playmobil renditions, they're so cool looking, very detailed and well made. I especially like the blue and orange proton beam coming out the barrel. Seeing all these cool toys makes me want to start collecting.
Hearing you boys talk about Little Golden Books was so great! Back in the early 90s I used to collect the Disney ones as kind of a memory of using seen a film. They're so pure and surreal! I think aliens like Ford Prefect and Neil Breen make them. I'd love to see a whole video of Ashens looking at tie in Little Golden Books.... a farmgirl can dream.
Just a friendly reminder that the Ghostbusters video game was pretty good. Designed, written and orchestrated as a 3rd entry in the series. Someone made a film-like edit for RUclips, and all the original actors reprised their roles and wrote for it.
Having seen all three movies I thought that once they started to fight the actual bad villain of the movie that all three of them were good but that the first two were good at the beginning as well
@@gunluva You and Paul Gannon liking the 2016 one is good. I know I talked crap about it but I can't fault anyone for liking....besides I genuinely love the live action Super Mario Bros Movie. I have no room to talk XD
This is like a forty-eight minute version of the latter part of Stuart's Subscription Box on Barshens minus the Eli making fun of Paul, I love it!. I have no interest in Ghostbusters but love hearing Paul talk about it.
I love the IDW Ghostbuster comics and I can't help but feel they are super under-rated. One spesific thing about them worth mentioning is how much effort they go into the make everything Ghostbusters related canon... EVERYTHING! From the 2016 movie to the cartoons (even the one with the ape), down to even including the official video game (where they team up with the still nameless and faceless main character of the game). It's bonkers.
I love watching people talk about things they love. Like I have no emotional bond to the Ghost Busters at all, but this video was so cool because he was so passionate about it
Paul Gannon talking about his passion for Ghostbusters. The best video I have seen for ages, for this reason. Paul should be on TV. Brilliant, funny undervalued genius !
Re Japanese translation error. The Japanese litterally says "agrii", so it's wrong even in Japanese katakana. Also Spad is just Spud in the Japanese writing system. So clearly the English names were translated by someone who had never seen the movies and didnt know what a spud was.
The Japanese text just says the English words "Ugly Little Spud". The only error was when they went from Japanese back to English. Interestingly, the Japanese text next to "Ghost Runner" is the English words "Jogging Ghost".
It's a transliteration error rather than translation, due to Japanese writing having a more limited amount of syllables. Same thing that caused the Aeris/Aerith nonsense with FFVII
@@AaronSmart.online And then you get into issues with different transliteration systems, and the Japanese sometimes confusing actual transliteration with how certain things are typed on keyboards (like instead of "tsu" for つ, they'll put in "tu")...
In the first movie, the shoulder patches for each individual Ghostbuster looked quite distinct from one another. Different shaped hands, different shaped heads, like they were embroidered freehand. Very cool DIY aesthetic.
Thank you Japanese ghostbusters magazine thing for reminding me that I really should be studying japanese instead of watching a video about ghostbusters stuff
Take a shot whenever Ashens says "bloody hell" or when either of the two says something incorrectly or grammatically incorrect. The objective is to not die.
@@acertainshape Despite living in the southern US for my entire life, I have honestly never heard the word "spook" used in that context. I've used it to negatively refer to government agents, but never in a racial context.
I remember on the Look-In video Paul mentioned being a fan of Victor and Hugo and each time my wife and I have cosplayed as the characters at conventions, we get recognised by people cosplaying as Ghostbusters. It's only a matter of time until we bump into each other and reference "Spookzappers 3."
I remember the photo book from the first film. Other kids used to chase me around with the library ghost screaming double spread. They used to hold over the USA summer blockbusters for release in Australia so it ended up coming out on my birthday on 15th November 1984. Also the Terminator, Gremlins and the Neverending Story came out within a month. The only place to see film trailers was at the cinema or Ivan Hutchison's Christmas movie guide on TV.
Re: The Good Humor Man (17:00)-- 'Good Humor' is an ice cream brand in the US and back in the day, they had branded ice cream trucks that drove around neighborhoods and sold ice cream novelties (like bars and popsicles) to kids. So the Good Humor Man is the guy who drove the truck and sold the ice cream. No idea how you make a story out of that, but it's a Little Golden Book, so it doesn't need much plot-- but I doubt it has any of the violent suggestions from Ashens and Paul. Good Humor ice cream novelties are still available in grocery and convenience stores. Yum!
Even before clicking the video, I knew that as soon as I saw Ghostbusters from Ashens, we would see the glorious mr. Paul Ganon and his Scouser Gosboostas!
I already know before I watch that this is going to be one of the best videos on RUclips. The ghostbuster subscription box was so funny. The only thing better than seeing this video pop up was realising its 48 minutes long 😍

Well-put. I know very close to nothing about Ghostbusters, but listening to Paul talk about it is pleasing.
You can hear the love!

Before the end times.

Paul Gannon's positive and wholesome effusiveness about his favourite franchise is just... it's very warming.
Have you ever listened to his podcast?
It's so nice to hear someone discuss something they're very passionate about 👻

I'm not even past the intro yet and I can 100% guarantee that Paul Gannon is in this one.

Did the bar have to call the ghostbusters on your buddy's ghost?
